February Verve Diva Inspirations blog hop

Hi everyone!!  Welcome to the first Verve Diva Inspirations Blog Hop!  Each month the Diva Inspirations team will have a blog hop focusing on the older Verve sets!  And, can I just say again how FUN this Diva team is?  I love diving into all my older Verve sets that haven't gotten NEARLY enough love and get them inky!!

My card uses the set, Express Yourself!   The purse and shoe are colored with copic markers and cut out.  The bright green pattern paper is from Bella Blvd, their Lovey Dovey line -totally fun right?  I added some brand new tiny little peridot (green) colored rhinestones (from Pizazz Aplenty) as accents to bring in some of the green.  The fabulous lace trim is from Maya Road and the flower is from Prima. 
We've hidden a little mystery prize on one of today's hop spots, so be sure to leave a little comment love as you hop around. One lucky commenter on the mystery hop spot will win a $30 gift certificate to the Verve Stamps Store! The deadline for comment entries is Saturday, January 5th.


As you hop around today, you might notice some new faces! We are so excited to announce the addition of three brand new Divas to our Diva Inspirations team.  I have been a big fan of all 3 of these lovely and talented ladies, so let's give a great big Verve welcome to the newest members of the Divahood... Betty Wright, Dawn Easton and Sony Christoph!

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the hop!!

Card Deets:
Stamps - Express Yourself (Verve Stamps)
Ink - Memento Tuxedo Black; Cardstock - black and white (PTI)
Pattern Paper - Lovey Dovey 12x12 , "Borders & Blocks" (Bella Blvd.)
